In an attempt to understand the developmental continuum of women’s art
in Israel, without shattering stereotypes of femininity by means of further
stereotypes, the personal, autobiographical level would seem to be the most
relevant and significant. This collection of works raises for discussion the
assumption that the very fact that the artist is a woman has a decisive influence
on her autobiography and by the same token also on her art. Thoughts about
femininity and/or about female autobiography, in this connection, need not lead
to one comprehensive answer or definition but rather enable an openness, as
much as possible, to differentiation and variety.
